Warm welcome!

Here are some tips on how to get here on June 6:
Take the boat
The waterways are open, so choose to go here by boat if you have the opportunity.
Djurgårdsfärjan (line 82) runs extra trips all day and line 80 runs heavy traffic from Nybrokajen to Allmänna gränd.
m/s Emelie is also an option.
Take the subway
Of course, the subway runs all day. You can go to Kungsträdgården and combine with boat line 80 which leaves from Nybrokajen. Another option is to go to Slussen and walk to Djurgårdsfärjan, or you can take the subway to Karlaplan and walk a bit..
Cycle and walk
You can always combine cycling and walking here.
Leave the car at home.
It’s a folk festival in the city and then there can be queues. Djurgårdsbron is closed to public car traffic at 8.22am. If you have to take the car, try to find a parking space a little beyond Djurgården, and walk if possible.
And of course – be on time, plan your trip and find the latest news in the sl app.
